The store was pretty cluttered and disorganized, but it was fun to look around at what they did have. I didn't buy anything and found the guitar I was looking for somewhere else in town, so it wasn't a wasted trip. I gave them three stars just because they told me they had the guitar I was looking for and then when I got there they didn't. Otherwise I would have given them another because it was such an eclectic place and the guy working there was friendly. It is worth it to stop in if you're in the neighborhood.

Most recently, the staff at the Urbandale store helped us clean and repair our Yamaha Clavinova. They were friendly, fair in pricing and gave unexpectedly speedy service.

This is a store where you find that first instrument that you love because you know you have the need to make your fingers move. One of the problems with so many inexpensive guitars is that they are cheap. Rob has inexpensive guitars, but he has companies like Harley Benton, which make amazingly good instruments for the price point. If you are looking to start out, or just need a good backup at a decent price, this is the place to start.
